Skip-the-Line Paris Catacombs

Gain immediate entry to the Paris Catacombs with your skip-the-line ticket. Once inside, your expert guide leads you through the vast underground network, a remarkable civil engineering feat undertaken by Parisian leaders to solve the city’s cemetery overcrowding. Wander the main tunnels and uncover the “city of the dead” hidden beneath the City of Light.

Then, venture into two exclusive tunnels. Visit a chapel where religious ceremonies were once held amid bone-filled vestibules. Next, discover mysterious carvings created by one of the original tunnel workers. Instead of stacking skulls in the labyrinth, this unconventional artist carved intricate sculptures into the rock—these captivating artworks became the first public attraction of the Catacombs.

Make the most of your visit with unique stories and insights from your guide as you explore this eerie yet fascinating space. Along the way, hear about the people who built, visited, and rest here, including secret societies that still come today.
